A thriller full of intrigue set in two very contrasting time periods, where certain people are forced to make difficult choices.

Perceive the lives of people during the turbulent eighteenth century Scotland, where a family man is given an unique opportunity. Will his conscience allow him to make sacrifices that will ensure future prosperity for Scotland and his family?

Another part of the story takes place in the near future where the world has been brought together into an ultra organised collective system, including health organisations. Follow a medical school graduate on his journey of discovery, dismay and hope.

The readers are left to ask: How much power is too much power? Who can we trust around us? And is there enough being done to prevent the threat from becoming a reality?All Rights Reserved

His Wife by paynechristianson

NOTE: This is only a preview of my novel His Wife which is sold on Amazon in all formats. The link to the full novel and my other novels is in my bio. For years, Evangeline has been married to Joseph Vanderbilt who has always been the perfect depiction of a husband while she was his wonderful obedient wife who would give in to his control. Out in public, he'd always go around with a smile on his face and a loving arm around Evangeline. But behind closed doors, no one really knew how impossible it was for Evangeline to be his wife, not even Evangeline until it was too late. She didn't realize it was too late until she saw the dead body in her husband's trunk, and he confessed that his real name was Eugene. After that, Evangeline has been fighting for her survival every day while also trying to escape him. However, he's made it almost impossible by tying her to the bed every night and constantly keeping her by his side. He confessed that all the precautions were because he loved her and wanted to keep her in his life, but the more she tried to escape, the more he began to show his true colors and start abusing her. He'd tie her up for hours or beat her as he pleased and would even bring his family members into it. After a while, Evangeline realized that time was very limited when she discovered a secret cellar and a secret even darker inside it below their cozy home. After she discovered the hidden room, Eugene would start locking her in it for days at a time with the possibility of never letting her out again. It only gets worse when he and his cousin make threats to mutilate her if she ever tries to escape again, which only gives her one last chance to get out while she can and get it right.

Black Catz by duranricardo

In the near future, when corruption and poverty have taken over, police and government officials no longer take care of the people, but rather, those wealthy residents that can afford the protection. Because of this, families are left to protect themselves, turning their own communities into the armed forces they need to put an end to all of the violence that's quickly sweeping through each, and every, household. Will the law-abiding citizens prevail? Or will the law-breaking officials have their way in the court of life? Or better yet, will they ALL discover a truth NOBODY expected? ------------------------- (****WARNING - CONTAINS SEX, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, ALCOHOL and MORE) -------------------------

Epidemic by jayst_an_author

Pharmageddon by AlastairGrant

It’s the ultimate nightmare scenario. Nine million people depend, utterly, on anti-retroviral drugs to stay alive. But most of the active ingredients come from just three laboratories in India. Or at least they did - until all three were ripped apart by powerful explosions. Australian medical journalist Gipsy North is at the peak of her career, helping to launch a global online newspaper, when she is thrown into the center of this storm. While the United Nations desperately rallies governments and pharma to restore the international supply of antiretrovirals, North and her colleagues race to find out who is responsible for the bombings. Although it soon becomes obvious this story will define North's career, she has no idea that it will reshape a subcontinent and push the balance of power between the world’s most powerful nations to the tipping point. Pharmageddon isn’t true, but it could be. The story is based on Alastair Grant’s extensive experience in journalism and HIV/AIDS, and his years living in the countries where the action takes place. This fast-paced thriller is set in the immediate future, against the backdrop of the greatest public health challenge facing mankind, and raises important questions about the role of the online media in shaping our future.

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) by StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

Love Penalty by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ The punishment for murder is the death penalty, what about love? "Innocent until proven otherwise" Does this apply to matters of the heart? A story in which a lawyer ends up defending an inmate convicted of rape and second degree murder- that he claims he never did. Is he guilty? Is he innocent? Most importantly, is it morally acceptable to fall in love with an alleged murderer and rapist, let alone a client of hers? ❣️❣️❣️ Excerpt: When his shirt is dangling from his hand with him lifting it up towards his face to wear it, I snatch it from his hands. Throw it on the table beside me and grab his neck with one hand and my other traces his defined abs, and kiss him with full force. I thought he might pull away, saying he doesn't feel the same way towards me and I'm just his lawyer. That we're adults and need to refrain from acting like hormonally-driven teenagers. On the contrary -to my surprise - he kisses me back with the same amount of intensity and passion. One hand is on the side of my face and the other is holding me by the waist. We both taste like waffles and fresh strawberries and it's not something to complain about. Only when we're both out of breaths, we pull away, he smiles against me "What was that for?" He asks with his both hands on my waist now. "I've been meaning to do that for a while now" I truthfully answer his question. He has been on my mind 24/7 non stop from the moment I took his case. ❣️❣️❣️ *contains mature themes. *contains swearing. 8/3/2020 -> #1 in OnTrialForMurder #2 in notmeanttobe 8/8/2020 -> #3 in wtfamidoing 10/16/2021 -> #13 in fml 7/20/2021 -> #1 in ihateeverything 10/10/2021 -> #39 in mixedfeelings 4/18/2022 -> #1 in prison #2 in murder #1 in lawyer #1 in damaged
